The Steelers need to get back to the basics defensively, and while they have built an impressive defensive line, they need some help in the edge rushing department. Of course, they have invested heavily in this department in recent drafts, using top picks on Jarvis Jones and Bud Dupree. Enter Harris, who is one of the best pass rushers in the SEC who finished this past season with nine sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss.
He had 18.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks as a sophomore, and could be the next in line for excellent Missouri edge players moving to the NFL. The Steelers would love to have someone who could come in and contribute right away in the pass rush department, and Harris could do exactly that.
